The 2018 Players Championship purse is set for $11 million, with the winner's share coming in at $1,980,000 -- the standard 18 percent payout according to the PGA Tour's prize money distribution chart.
The Players Championship field is headed by Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Rickie Fowler.
With 81 players making the weekend cut, there was a secondary cut after Round 3 to the number nearest 70 (it was 71) for a smaller final-round field. Nevertheless, all of the 81 players making the 36-hole cut get paid and earn some FedEx Cup points, meaning the paid purse is actually higher than the stated $11 million.
The event is played this year at The Players Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
